I download a lot of video clips from the internet.

Most of these are the type of "video clip" and are of good
quality.

I want to convert these, without loss of quality, to the
type "movie clip", or to the type "Windows media type".

How can I do this to get a similar file size as the "video
clip" type?

Please help, Frank

===========================
Three free options.....

Try Windows Media Encoder:

Windows Media Encoder

How do I convert other video file formats to WMV?

If that fails...try SUPER:

Failed again?...

Hello,

Just to add on, any conversion from one file format to another WILL result
in a loss of quality. Unless you convert it to a lossless format such as
AVI.

Formats like WMV are a lossy compression, they will not make a 1:1 copy of
your original video. To reduce this, convert with the highest bitrate
possible. This will result in a bigger file size and mobile devices have a
limit on how much bitrate they can take.

Try:E.M. HD Video Converter
It is a wonderful video converter that lets you not only convert your
favorite videos to various HD (high definition) video formats like HD
WMV Video, HD DivX Video, HD Xvid Video, HD H.264 Video, HD Quick Time
Video, HD MPEG4 Video, HD FLV Video, HD TS Video, etc.

The overall reason I want these conversions is because some
of the AVI files I download cause trouble with Windows
Explorer causing it to crash.

When I pass the file thru (for example) "AVS Video Converter
V5.6" and converting it to the same AVI format, this fixes
that problem.

My understanding of all these formats is quite minimal, but
by trial & error I convert an errant file to type
"H.264/AVC-1200kbps; audio: MP3 - 192kpbs" and this
results in a file about as large as the original.

Ok...but file size 'in and of itself'
doesn't mean anything.
